There is some confusion here. It is not the IKF under whom Tony is claiming sponsorship or a world championship. The IKF is a reputable and known body.

Tony is claiming these things under the IKFF. This is completely different. The IKFF is believed to be the IMAF/IKFF (its on their earlier seals/badges. Have a look in the history bit). Their website can be found here: http://www.martialarts-kungfu.com/index.html

The problem with his story is that IKFF is based in The U.S. , right?
He claims that it is Geneve Schwitzerland, but the only IKFF there is some Swedish womens organization, I smell a rat....
Actually, I thought there was no Kung-fu federation named IKFF, as IKF claims to be the first international(I mailed them) but you proved me wrong it seems. Still, I do not believe his story.

Hi guys I started to read this book a few days ago and thought at first that it seemed a really good interesting read. That was until about the 2nd or 3rd chapter, it was then that alarm bells started to ring in my head and I began to think that Tony Anthony was a fake. I continued to read the book just to give the guy the benifit of the doubt. I should point out here that I am a born again Christian, who like many others, came to faith whilst being banged up for being a bit of a bad lad. Anyway back to Mr Anthony. Last night I decided to do a bit of digging on Mr Anthony as I became more and more aware that the man was just spouting crap especially when it came to the BG work he supposidly did. I am ex para reg who is slightly older than Tony and I have many friends that do CPBG work. Non of them have ever heard of or are aware of the IKFF or Tony Anthony.

So what do I think? Tony Anthony is a fake want to be hero. If you rearrange slightly the co-authors name (Angela Little) you get A Little Angel. Coincidence, don't think so.

As a Christian I find it annoying that people like Tony Anthony use this guise to try and influence young or lonely people to come to faith.

To the guy whos "Christian" friend stopped talking to him because of this issue, don't worry about it mate. Some Christians are the worse advertisment you can get for the Christian faith.

These aren't mind words but I'll use them as they sum it up for me.

The greatest single cause of athism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with there lips and deny him by their lifestyles. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

I don't know if it is the correct reference, but as far back as early Jewish lore there is said to be "A Little Angel" sitting on one of our shoulders and a little Demon on the other each whispering in our ears abot the Good & Bad responses to situations that arise in our every day lives.
